Job Hunts and Recruiters

There’s a fair bit of turmoil in the industry right now, with cutbacks, mergers/acquisitions, and the like. Which means that some people end up moving around to new career posts.

Many of you know that I quietly try to connect people and job openings “in the background,” as it were, since I inevitably end up learning about needs when networking so extensively. And I’m glad to help. But it comes to mind that I might be able to do better if I knew who some of the better recruiters were out there – those who have a specialty in pharma and perhaps a sub-specialty in sales training and/or brand management – to whom I could turn when trying to help people find or fill positions.

Here’s what I’d like to ask of you – if you are aware of one or more such recruiters (people with a very clear industry focus, AND who are solidly ethical and collaborative) – would you please forward me their names/companies? Don’t put it in the Comments section – instead, send me an e-mail to jobs(at)impactiviti.com. Let’s see if perhaps we can help each other out a bit during turbulent times.

My goal is not to recruit, or to turn recruiters loose on you or your company. Quite the opposite, in fact. Seems to me that if there is a quiet and efficient way to bring awareness of open positions that recruiters know about, and let people needing to move on more easily find a “match,” then everyone wins.
